About the event
As you may have seen over the past year or so we have set up "Community Quilt" events around the area. These are local events like the Park Rd Parade, or art shows like CRAFTED HARTFORD, where we have sewing machines out for people in the community to try out sewing. In the process they sew a few scraps of fabric together that are then assembled into a quilt that is donated to Project Linus.
Project Linus is a national organization with a local chapter that delivers handmade blankets to local children that could use a little extra comfort (think Linus as in Charlie Brown). It's a wonderful organization and I've been thrilled to be making these blankets, with the help of our community.
However, I'm overloaded with these partially assembled fabric pieces from our last events and am looking for some help from my Stitchers to pull them all…
